Library Materials

Requesting Materials

For books, photocopies, and other library materials available to ISU Distance Education students. This includes materials found within the ISU Library as well as materials from other libraries. Interlibrary Loan will process these requests through a system called ILLiad. The distance learner will be notified via email when a requested item is in transit to the address listed in ILLiad. The distance learner is liable for the material from the time it leaves ISU until it is safely returned to ISU. Please ensure your address is correct before requesting materials. Distance learning students can use the ILLiad service, however, they must have a current ISU ID card to do so. There is no cost for the first card. Replacement cards are $15. Cards can be obtained in person, on the phone, or in an email. To obtain a card contact Traffic and Parking Services by phone at (812) 237-8888 or through e-mail at ISU-Parking@mail.indstate.edu. Their office hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
